Message: <blockquote data-quote="Famous when dead" data-source="post: 1987206574" data-attributes="member: 6607">Their interview remasters have already been shared by myself here,but I really like the work done on some of these gigs and thought they were worth sharing.The sound has been much improved in some cases.I have simply collated their <a href="http://dreamremaster.blogspot.com/">blog</a> posts in to one list below.They have some support bands from Smiths gigs on their site too.The notes have been included as requested by the OP.The links have all been checked and are working.Some gigs have the original (prior to remaster) linked to also - which is a nice touch.I hope people enjoy the gigs and appreciate the effort that's gone in to 'remastering' them.Many thanks to Dream Remaster.Great work.Regards,FWD.[HR][/HR]The Smiths - Lyceum Ballroom, London, 25th September 1983 [Dream Remaster]Source AudienceTrack List:-01 - Pretty Girls Make Graves [Fades In]02 - Wonderful Woman03 - "Who Threw This?"
